THE Irish Women’s National Team will immediately pocket more than €1m in prize money for the FAI by qualifying for next year’s World Cup finals.
The Pitch understands that while no fee has yet been agreed or announced by FIFA, current figures being discussed in Zurich stand at just over €1m for each of the eventual 32 qualifiers.
